Abstract
Information is presented on the suitability of soils in Eddy County, New Mexico for irrigation. The acreage, general location, and relative capability of the soils for use in irrigated agriculture are given. A general soil map and a detailed soil survey provided the information needed for the irrigability classification map. The data were organized and presented on the basis of soil associations shown on the general soil map and on an irrigation land classification map. Eddy County has about 2,675,000 acres, of which about 34 percent was considered suitable for irrigation. Information is provided on soil resources that can be used for preliminary planning for irrigated agriculture, forestry, range, urban, engineering, recreation, and wildlife uses. A general soil map and a classification of land for irrigation map are included. (Author)
